Tony, your 2m yagi project is a good read. Most lightweight 2m yagi projects are based on 3 elements, you have found a way to incorporate a second director while keeping the overall weight down. Well done.
Tony, saw your old posting about your HL-35V amplifier. Just bought one at the local hamfest. Would you please email me a copy of the user manual? Thx in advance!
